Orl Unho: Of course science fully supports religion. For example religions teach that modern entertainment is bad because it is sinful and makes people stupid. And genetic biology concludes that modern entertainment is foreign to our evolutionary history. We are not adapted genetically to shallow entertainment like watching TV which causes a form of hypnosis. That is why even the Taliban have a point in prohibiting TV pleasure. A truly Christian government should do the same with this form of mind pollution.
Orl Unho: Na heolaíochta ndóigh lántacaíocht do reiligiún. Mar shampla, reiligiúin a mhúineadh go bhfuil droch siamsaíochta nua-aimseartha mar go bhfuil sé Nós Nua agus a dhéanann daoine dúr. Agus an tátal na bitheolaíochta ghéiniteach go bhfuil siamsaíochta nua-aimseartha coigríche go dtí ár stair éabhlóideach. Nílimid in oiriúint géinmhodhnaithe siamsaíocht ar fáil do tanaí cosúil le breathnú ar an teilifís a cúiseanna le foirm de hypnosis. Sin é an fáth, fiú, an Taliban pointe i cosc pléisiúir teilifíse. Ba chóir go mbeadh an rialtas go fírinneach Christian an rud céanna leis an bhfoirm seo le truailliú a aigne.

Nizwa was host to the 24th National Day celebrations in 1994,
held in the Youth Complex that is located in Seih al Kuds. The
complex covers 443,000m2 and has capacity for 15,000 spectators.
Nizwa is a diverse, prosperous area, which has many agricultural,
historical, governmental and recreational aspects. Nizwa Fort,
located in the town proper, is an imposing structure; 24m high,
with an external diameter of 43m and an internal diameter of 39m.
This was the headquarters of the ruler of Nizwa and was built
by the Imam Sultan bin Saif bin Malik al Ya'rubi. With its connections
to the root of Islam, Nizwa has a number of important mosques,
such as Nizwa Mosque, a Friday mosque heralded as a 'beacon of
science'; So'al Mosque, built in the 2nd century AH; and the Al
Shawadhana Mosque which is located in the district of Aqr. The
Nizwa souq is situated next to the fort and was renovated in the
1990's, costing RO2.5million.
The souq
covers an area of around 7600m2 and consists of separate buildings
housing the likes of vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, dates, spices
and handicrafts. The design of the souq compliments the fort in
every way. It has been constructed using the same traditional
materials, such as sarooj, a gypsum material which is burnt until
it turns brown. In 1993, Nizwa won the 'Organisation of Arab Cities'
award.
There are
around 90 afalaj in the area, the most important being Falaj Daris.
The Wadi Tanuf Dam, completed in 1989, is designed to increase
the supply of subterranean water which feeds the afalaj of Daris
and Tanuf. The increased supply has led to an expansion in the
agricultural area. The dam is 135m long and is located on the
watercourse of Wadi Tanuf which is famous in the Middle East for
its mineral water.
Although
Nizwa is a modern city, parts of the wilayat, in particular, the
Jebel al Akhdar region are still inaccessible. The inhabitants
of these areas receive provisions and building materials brought
to them by the Armed Forces. There is also a 'flying doctor' who
provides medical services.
